Hi Stefan,

thanks for your answer. I think the deprecated option is still supported and I 
found something else - I will update to the new option though. On the ceph 
side, I see in the log now:

  client session with non-allowable root '/' denied (client.31382084 
192.168.48.135:0/2576875769)

It looks like the path option of vfs_ceph is not passed on correctly. I did 
neither try nor allow to mount the root itself, but a sub-directory. It looks 
like one of the combinations I tested works, but the path into the ceph fs is 
not used. The option I use is:

  path = /shares/FOLDER-NAME

and this should show up in the client session as root '/shares/FOLDER-NAME'. 
Starts looking like a bug in vfs_ceph.c .

Best regards,

In ceph/src/common/options.cc I found this:

    Option("client_fs", Option::TYPE_STR, Option::LEVEL_ADVANCED)
    .set_flag(Option::FLAG_STARTUP)
    .set_default("")
    .set_description("CephFS file system name to mount")
    .set_long_description("Use this with ceph-fuse, or with any process "
        "that uses libcephfs.  Programs using libcephfs may also pass "
        "the filesystem name into mount(), which will override this
setting. "
        "If no filesystem name is given in mount() or this setting, the
default "
        "filesystem will be mounted (usually the first created)."),

    /* Alias for client_fs. Deprecated */
    Option("client_mds_namespace", Option::TYPE_STR, Option::LEVEL_DEV)
    .set_flag(Option::FLAG_STARTUP)
    .set_default(""),

So the client_mds_namespace is deprecated, and maybe even removed? Does
it work if you specify "client_fs"?

Gr. Stefan
